It raised just over £2000 for our funds through the fourweek opening run and will help us to continue our work for the foreseeable future. What was gently derided by friends and visitors as a jumble sale in a skittle alley was much more than that. Few jumble sales had the huge range and extent of items that had been donated by family and friends over the past two years when no pop-up shop was possible. Even more important than the money raised, **Contents** the shop allowed us to showcase our Page 2 – Centre’s work.

Pages 4, 5, 6 – Lockdown stories but special thanks go to Sandra Davies, Kelvin and the Swan team for allowing us to take over their skittle alley and for their support and good humour, not forgetting the drinks and the ice creams. Thanks also to Thornbury Rotary Club for help with COVID supplies. It was lovely to welcome back visitors from previous years and meet new ones. We hope you enjoyed us being there as much as we did. 1 ## **Thornbury Volunteer Centre is run by a team of volunteers and a part time employee with the aim of promoting all aspects of voluntary work in Thornbury and its district. A registered charity, we fulfil the Charity Commission’s aim of ensuring that all charities are of benefit to the public and the communities which they serve.** ## **The Accounts** Copies of our annual accounts are available on request. The Centre’s reserves policy is to maintain its reserves at such a level as to ensure that as at the 1 April each year sufficient funds are available to maintain at least two years’ activity broadly at the level of 2020-2021, thereby enabling, if necessary, an orderly winding up of the charity to be achieved. In setting the level of reserves the costs of any statutory redundancy payments or other legal payments for which the Centre might be liable will be taken into account. ## **Volunteer Co-ordinators** When the Centre re-opens on Monday 6 September it will once again operate with a team of volunteer co-ordinators who will attend the office daily on a rota. The co-ordinators are the backbone of the Centre and donate their time on a regular basis. So, to all past and current volunteers we offer our grateful thanks. ## **Trustees** This year we have welcomed two new volunteers to our board, Cllr Shirley Holloway and Sam Fisher. Their ideas and expertise will be of great benefit in the coming years. The trustees ensure that we operate within the guidelines set by our Constitution, the Charity Commission and NCVO. ## **The Centre** The office has been operating virtually since March 2020 but will re-open to the public fully on Monday 6 September. We have a large database of current volunteering opportunities, both locally, regionally and nationally. ## **Paid Workers** Kim Webb is our paid employee working 15 hours a week, funded in part by South Glos Council. Kim has been working mainly from home throughout the recent pandemic and has volunteered many additional hours taking full responsibility for all the work of the Centre. ## **Internet and Social Media** Michael Quinion, our long-standing IT Manager, has been invaluable in helping to keep the Centre operational since the first lockdown in March 2020. He ensures that our user-friendly and accessible website continues to raise our profile and that of volunteering in general with all our news and events being posted. It links directly to the Do-it national volunteering database https://doit.life/ and volunteers and organisations are able to register with us online. Our social media accounts help to keep us in touch with all members of the community. ## **Publicity** We enjoy a good relationship with the local media, with ongoing articles appearing in The Gazette, Thornbury Voice, local Community Magazines, local websites and e-bulletins. ## **Published Material** The following 3 publications are all available to download from our website. **Sources of Help for Specific Needs in and around Thornbury.

Obviously last year was the exception although we did still manage to run project based and one-off volunteering with the students. The scheme encourages year 13 pupils into volunteering as part of their Extended Curriculum and helps students volunteer in their local community for two hours, once a week, during term time. Students are placed within different community organisations in the Thornbury and district area, and carry out a wide variety of tasks. The benefits to students and organisations are immense. The students gain valuable work experience and life skills and the organisations increase capacity and gain additional volunteer help. We are in the process of putting together next year’s programme which starts in September and would love to hear from any voluntary or community organisations who feel they would like to take - part and offer a student(s) a placement. Please contact Kim Webb on mail@volunteer thornbury.co.uk to find out more. ## **The Alan Hudson Award** The Alan Hudson Award for Volunteering Achievement is awarded annually and celebrates the work of an individual or group who in the opinion of the Thornbury Volunteer Centre has made a valuable contribution to the local community. Our 2019 winner was Krunch South West. We are hoping to present this year’s winner at our Christmas Lunch in December. ## **Volunteers’ Christmas Lunch** This year we are hoping to once again host our Volunteers Christmas Lunch. This is our chance to recognise and thank the many volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations from within our local community. Keep a look out on our website for further details. 4 **A RETROSPECTIVE OF 2020-21 – A VERY UNUSUAL YEAR** No one could have imagined at the start of 2020 what the future would hold but it’s fair to say that it has been a year like no other and one we hopefully never have to live through again. Thornbury Volunteer Centre, like so many small grassroots organisations had to adapt to a different way of working whilst still maintaining and increasing their capacity to offer their services. Not since the 1940’s had volunteering been so important or vital in helping local communities to survive and support their vulnerable people. The Volunteer Centre Development co-ordinator worked from home and with the help of Michael Quinion, the Centre IT manager, managed to continue to recruit and signpost volunteers to where they were most needed whilst at the same time help those other voluntary organisations find new volunteers to enable them to adapt and survive. We made connections with local Mutual Aid groups and statutory bodies and formed partnerships with other voluntary groups in an effort to ensure that the right people Fascinating figures! were reaching the right places. Last year Thornbury Volunteer Centre registered In the first 3 months of lockdown alone we registered and referred 77 volunteers to 206 new volunteers, a 23% NHS, City and local councils, mutual aid groups and local organisations. Additionally, we increase on last year, and referred 256 volunteers from the national Do-it website. We dealt with requests from placed 90 volunteers into 44 Social Services and local hospitals and care homes. local voluntary/community organisations. Through the course of the year we ran successful recruitment campaigns for many We signposted 179 volunteers organisations. Our appeal for Pulse Oximeter Delivery Drivers in January 2021 resulted to volunteering opportunities in 14 volunteers offering their help and when our local donkey sanctuary asked for more through the Do-it national support, we were able to send 18 volunteers, from students to retired people to help. volunteering website. See Mick’s story on page 6. We registered 109 new volunteering opportunities, We also linked in with Thornbury Health Centre to help them find volunteer marshals at and supported 23 community their COVID vaccination clinics. organisations and businesses Our Volunteer Managers’ Network meetings moved over to Zoom and proved valuable to through various events. keeping in touch with other managers working on their own. With our office due to re-open to the public on 6 September we are looking forward to continuing to help the community of Thornbury and its surrounds. ## **Help us to continue our work** We are a charity, staffed almost entirely by volunteers. Like most charities, we are in need of funds to support our work, particularly as we exist to help other local charities find and make good use of volunteers in their own activities. It is now easier to support us. The AmazonSmile scheme supports charitable organisations by donating a proportion of the value of sales. Everyone who buys from Amazon and wants to support us can join the scheme. All you have to do is visit the sign-up page, you will be asked to log in to the Amazon site if you aren’t already. Then all you have to do is click on the button labelled _Start Shopping_ . After that you can shop the Amazon site as normal. Products, prices and shopping features are exactly the same as before but part of the value of your purchases (excluding VAT, returns and delivery) is passed to us as a donation. Amazon doesn’t take any commission. 5 ## **Mucking out is fun to do!** When Mick retired last year from his job working on a network of cross-country petroleum pipelines, he soon sorted out all those ‘saved-up’ jobs around the house and garden and started looking for something to do. He was already familiar with volunteer work: he had helped at his daughters’ schools and had been a parent governor. So volunteering was his first thought. He has always been fond of animals and after reading a small ad in _Thornbury Voice_ asking for volunteers to help at the Rudgeway Donkey Sanctuary, he contacted us for advice. He started at the Sanctuary in January 2021 and immediately found it was just what he wanted. He volunteers every day for about two hours, starting at 7:30 in the morning. This suits him because he’s normally back home by 9:30 with a full day ahead free. Mick with one of the friendly donkeys. His main activity is to help other volunteers get the stables ready for the day ahead. This usually starts with ‘mucking-out’, which wouldn’t be everyone’s favourite job. He actually quite likes it as it helps keep him fit: “It’s a great way to start my day! The only downside I can think of is that every day my wife straightaway tells me to get changed and have a shower as not everyone likes the smell of donkey stables!” Always ready to help out wherever needed, Mick has done some DIY and office jobs, including updating Health and Safety risk assessments. Jean, the Sanctuary owner, has found him to be a godsend because she hates doing paperwork. Mick is very happy with his role: ‘I find that volunteering at the Sanctuary is very rewarding, especially when working with the donkeys, some of which may not have had the best start in life. The atmosphere is friendly, the donkeys are affectionate, everyone is made very welcome, and I feel my time there is valued.’ **WE ARE RE-OPENING TO THE PUBLIC ON MONDAY 6 SEPTEMBER AT 10.30AM.** Normal office hours are: Monday-Friday 10.30am-12 noon.
